Chelsea are willing to send Carney Chukwuemeka out on loan, and Burnley manager Vincent Kompany reportedly wants to sign the midfielder in the summer transfer window.
According to TEAMtalk, Chelsea have made Carney Chukwuemeka available for loan in the summer of 2023.
The former Premier League and UEFA Champions League winners signed the 19-year-old English midfielder from Aston Villa in the summer of 2022 for £20 million.
The report has claimed that Burnley manager Vincent Kompany wants to sign the teenager on a loan deal.
Sheffield United are also keen on securing the services of Chukwuemeka on loan for next season.
Both Burnley and the Blades will play in the Premier League next season after winning automatic promotion from the Championship.
Should Carney Chukwuemeka leave Chelsea on loan?
In our view, leaving Chelsea on loan for Burnley or Sheffield United for next season would not be a bad idea for Carney Chukwuemeka.
Yes, the 19-year-old has played for the Blues’ first team this season, but it is unlikely that incoming manager Mauricio Pochettino will use him regularly next campaign.
After all, the former Tottenham Hotspur head coach will be under pressure to get Chelsea back into the Premier League top four.
Chukwuemeka is likely to get more playing time at Burnley or Sheffield United than at Chelsea.
Burnley play a very fluid and attacking football under Kompany, and playing for the Clarets on a regular basis could see the youngster, described as “one of the most exciting young players in Europe” by Chelsea co-owner Todd Boehly, thrive.
